Man On Mission To Circumnavigate The World On Motorcycle Now In Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 (Bernama) -- A 22-year-old from South London, currently circumnavigating the world on a Ducati Scrambler motorcycle, is currently in Malaysia. Henry Crew set off on his quest on April 3 and has since visited 17 countries, including France, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, India and Thailand. “He will be continuing his journey to Australia before crossing into Africa and heading up to the Americas before completing his journey home to England,” Next Bike Sdn Bhd, the sole distributor for the Ducati brand in Malaysia, said in a statement Tuesday. It said Crew was also raising funds for the Movember Foundation, a global charity organisation that addresses health issues faced by men such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer as well as mental health and suicide prevention. Next Bike said besides servicing and checking Crew’s bike, the company also helped to plan his Malaysian travel route, navigating through Malaysia’s northern state of Penang to Ipoh and Cameron Highlands (both in Perak state) before manoeuvring down to Tanjung Piai, the southern-most tip of mainland Asia, then heading northwards to Kuala Lumpur. Crew is eyeing to set a new world record as the youngest person to circumnavigate the world, covering over 56,000 km across 35 countries on a motorcycle. -- BERNAMA
